7lbs 12ozs? For someone who was ahead of his time? I imagine if you'd waited and gone the natural route, you definitely would have had a differently memorable birth story...

No kidding. Kaitlin was a pound bigger than that when she was born, but she also had five weeks longer to bake. I think at the average growth rate if he'd been born at the same time as Kaitlin he would be over 10 pounds. (It's 1/2 a pound a week at that stage, right?)

Big kids are nice though. I don't feel like they're in danger of breaking.

He is really really cute. And I'm not just saying that. The cheeks! The contented expression! And he shares his birthweight with Misty and his middle name with Andrew. :) (And his earliness with Ricky? hehe.)

Congratulations. Glad he is healthy and you are both doing well. :) I guess the kids have seen him already!? :)

Wow, isn't he beeYOOtiful! My Mom said that, too. I'm so glad you're both doing okay! I thought about you today during the festival I was playing at and wished I had access to the web to check on you guys. Whew. I'm so glad to see the little guy!Big BIG hugs to you both and enough for the rest of your family, too!
